Typhoon Talas in Japan
Japan after the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami earlier this year, is now beaten by Typhoon Talas, a tropical storm that was just as bad as Hurricane Irene.
The nut of it though: 47 people killed, 56 people missing, 450,000 people evacuated, 26 inches of rain in one night, and a country who has had too much damage done to them by Mother Nature in a six-month span.
A typhoon is like a hurricane but happens in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. They’re all tropical cyclones, they’re all scary and they all destroy everything in their path.
